​ Last week, we were following the rise of some mobile versions of Firefox (Maemo, Android) and the fall of others (Windows Mobile). This week, the much-talked-about Android edition of Mozilla's browser has hit Android forums as a pre-release download. It's not feature-complete yet, but it does have a bookmark manager and support some add-ons. If you want to be the first kid on your block to try Firefox on Android, it's worth a download.
Our friend Brad Linder, over at Mobiputing, says that the build that's going around right now is optimized for Droid, and doesn't run quite so smoothly on his Nexus One. He also points out that you'll need to copy the .apk file to your phone's SD card and use a file explorer app to complete the install. It's called "GeckoApp," by the way, which is a reference to the Gecko rendering engine used in Firefox.
If you're not amongst the brave early-adopters who want to download and install a prerelease app, you can still scope out the video after the jump for a visual taste of Firefox on Android.

lol that is for sure i would of never knew, the Hero CDMA is like a different demension.

The only time I saw something other than the Hero threads (recently anyways) was last night when the forums were down for maintenance.

I installed it and it just FC's

Could someone post the apk, its asking me to sign in.

user name: fennec
password: android
Get the fennec.apk version.. the "D" is for debug..

Now if google would just release Chrome for Android i would be very happy.

The German directions say it's for use in emulators only, not to be downloaded to the device.
Fennec should be fun when it's ready.

What, you can't read German? It tells you on the site:
User für Downloads: fennec
Passwort für Downloads: android
It means what it looks like: User for Downloads: fennec
Password for Downloads: android
The larger versions with a 'D' are debug versions.

Yikes. Even to this day I still have major memory leaks with Firefox. It's manageable on a PC with 4 gb of ram, but I'm a bit nervous about the havoc it could play with a mobile device.

too bad you should read the first post here and see how much memory it takes up on your phone lol

33 meg of internal storage, even WITH a2sd!?!?!
What sort of feature could it possibly have to be worth taking that kind of a memory hit for? I realize it's a pre-release, but holy crap!

How long does it take to install???
Sitting at about 5 mins and the screen has shut off a few times.
I am not running a2sd
And it will not set me install, Says in need more space on my phone...
I have 80mb FREE??

Personal Notes
- I usually let a bunch of feeds queue up and listen to them while going to work/school.
- The UI could probably use improvement, but the purpose of the app is to allow you to not look at your phone/computer to get your RSS news.
- The TTS is robotic, but it is the built-in voice, so I can't do much about that.
- I try to fix bugs I find as soon as possible if I can in my free time.
Feedback
I welcome any feedback for improving the app.
Please post requests/problems/comments here.
Enjoy!
UPDATE!
- FeedSpeak Lite now available for FREE! Enjoy!
- (Note: This version will receive less updates and features than Pro version)

Nice idea Is the app free? If not you shouldn't really post it on this site.

Thanks!
Sorry, the app isn't free ($0.99).
Please forgive my posting of it here.
A 'lite' version for Free is in the works though...

So I just took some time to release a Lite version of FeedSpeak... Enjoy!

I love it! Revolutionary, well done! Whats the difference between this one and the lite version?

Wow. Thanks!
The free version is really just a fork of the Pro version, starting at v1.9.6. It simply has features disabled, and it will not get as much attention for updates that the Pro version will.
Here is a list of differences:
Free
No article/summary topic filtering
Fixed to fetch 100 articles at one time
Cannot speak article summaries, just titles
Less likely to receive new updates
Pro
Filter out and skip articles with key words
Can control how many articles [40-260] to fetch at once
Can speak article titles and/or summaries
Updated with new features by request (if possible)
I hope this helps!

Some day i would like to see this on WM
Man i would wish this for WM HD2 looks F* brilliant.
Or my next phone must be a Android:S

Will try it out (June 23rd)
Won't get an Android till June 23rd. AT&T Captivate launches 18th, but won't be home to buy it. Will let you know how it goes and compares to a typical visual reader like NewsRob.

Hi everyone, thanks for the interest!

I hope you enjoy the app! FeedSpeak isn't meant to replace a visual reader, and NewsRob is probably the best visual one, but it comes in handy when you want to listen to stuff while doing other things.

Maybe, but certainly not in the first version. I need to figure out a way where a widget would work.

Version 1.0 has been released onto Android Market!

V1.0.1 Released

v1.0.2 has been released onto the Android Market. I've also dropped the price to £0.59. Give it a try!

Still waiting for the 1x1 widget that displays the number of notification before I jump on this.

Got a request:
I would love to have b/w or grayscale notification graphics to choose instead of coloured ones, would go much better with my theme.
Keep up the good work!

Just to let you all know. f+ has now hit v2.0.8.4, check it out!

I'm game. Been looking for a good alternative to BlueStacks.

OP has 6 posts, just one reply since yesterday (and only cause XDA just tweeted it), the big image is embedded from a piracy site that hosts cracked android apps... so, is this legit?
Edit: Link to official site - http://andyroid.net/

I think site should provide the full package for slow internet connection.

Sorry, why to put this on XDA Forums after almost a year of its availability?

It might not make much of a difference with desktop PC's but, something limited in CPU performance Andy OS doesn't seem to run well, tested on my T100TA (x86 baytrail tablet) was choppy and laggy. DuOS runs extremely well on the same tablet, worth noting and trying if you have the same or similar device.

Me too... I always get trouble with BS

Has anyone tried this?
The online installer seems kinda limited for some people with slow internet connections like me.

To run android apps on PC I use Genymotion, it's smoother and customizable

Cute, I went to the download link and got a message about it being in closed alpha.

I believe there is, check their Facebook page. It's still going to be the same size whether the installer downloads the required files or you download a large setup package.
